Happy Easter

Oscar's 10th week was very exciting! Last Wednesday he came down with his first cold/cough. He sounded terrible but we decided that as long as he wasn't running a fever that we would still go on our trip to St. Louis. He was a trooper! Our new car was great for the road trip, we were all very comfortable.

Our first stop in St. Louis was the Amaro's, where Oz met his great-grandparents and a few of his great uncles. They were all so excited to see him. Uncle Tom ran out to the car, in the rain, and snatched him up and got him inside the house as fast as he could. Grandma and grandpa (and everyone else) were so happy to finally meet and hold their first great-grandchild. Oz was very happy, smiley, and talkative with everyone.
The next day we had lunch and did some shopping with our friends Michele and Jaxon. Jaxon is 5 months old and was showing Oscar all his tricks.

Friday night our friends, Dan and Joe, came over to meet Oz before Matt and I went to the Cards game with them. Oscar spent the evening with Grannie and grandpa Irv. They apparently did great without us... Oscar slept 8hrs straight that night! Wooho! He really likes his Grannie- as soon as she gets her hands on him he can't help but smile and talk!
Saturday we celebrated Easter with the Amaro's. Everyone got a chance to hold him and play with him. He was very happy getting to know everyone, especially his great-grandparents!
For dinner that night he got to meet more family, this time the King's. Great grandma King was very happy to to meet her 5th great grandchild! Uncle Stace got Oz smiling too! Oscar did great taking it all in this weekend. Getting passed around, meeting new people, sleeping in new places, lots of time in the car... on top of the fact that he was a little under the weather, he did great.
It was exhausting but so great to see everyone. We are happy to be home and looking forward to getting back to our routine.
...but before getting into our routine we started the morning with a visit to the doctor for Oscar's 2 month check-up. He's still looking good. Weight is 14lbs, 12oz, length 23.5in, 16in head circumference! He also received his first round of vaccinations... he was not happy about that. We are taking it easy today and recovering from the cold, the trip and the shots.
